At Blue Education, we are committed to providing a safe and respectful environment for all our employees. We believe in fostering a workplace culture that promotes professionalism, mutual respect, and dignity. As part of this commitment, we have implemented a Zero Tolerance Towards Abusive Behaviour Policy, which applies to all customers and clients interacting with our employees or accessing our services. Abusive behavior includes, but is not limited to, verbal, physical, or emotional harassment, threats, discrimination, or any form of disrespectful conduct.

​

1. Definition of Abusive Behavior: Abusive behavior encompasses any action, language, or gesture that is intended to intimidate, belittle, threaten, discriminate against, or harm the physical or emotional well-being of our employees. This includes, but is not limited to, the following behaviors:

   • Verbal and written abuse, such as yelling, using profane language, or making derogatory comments in written forms.

   • Physical aggression, such as assault, pushing, or any form of physical harm.

   • Sexual harassment or inappropriate advances.

   • Discrimination based on race, gender, religion, age, disability, nationality, or any other protected characteristic.

   • Threats of violence or harm, whether explicit or implied.

   • Cyberbullying or online harassment through any digital platform.

   • Any other behavior that is deemed abusive or harmful by the company.

2. Reporting Process: Employees who experience or witness abusive behavior from a customer or client are encouraged to report it immediately to their supervisor, manager, or the designated HR representative. The company will provide clear channels of communication and maintain confidentiality throughout the reporting process. Employees will not face any negative consequences or retaliation for reporting incidents of abusive behavior.

3. Investigation and Consequences: Upon receiving a report of abusive behavior, the company will promptly investigate the incident. This may involve collecting evidence, speaking to witnesses, and consulting with the parties involved. The company will take appropriate action based on the severity and nature of the behavior, which may include:

   • Issuing a warning or formal notice to the customer or client.

   • Restricting or terminating the customer's access to our services.

   • Involving legal authorities if the behavior constitutes a criminal offense.

   • Pursuing civil remedies against the offending party, if necessary.

4. Communication of Policy: The Zero Tolerance Towards Abusive Behavior Policy will be communicated to all customers and clients through various means, including but not limited to:

   • Displaying signs or notices in public areas and online platforms.

   • Including a statement in service agreements or terms of use.

   • Communicating the policy during customer interactions through email, phone, or in-person meetings.

   • Providing educational materials or training sessions to raise awareness about respectful conduct.

5. Continuous Improvement: We are committed to continuously improving our policies and procedures to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees. We will review and update this policy as needed, taking into account feedback from our employees and evolving industry best practices.

By implementing this Zero Tolerance Towards Abusive Behaviour Policy, we strive to create a workplace environment that fosters respect, professionalism, and inclusivity. We believe that every individual deserves to be treated with dignity and will not tolerate any form of abusive behavior towards our employees.
